HIP 90725 is an uncommon star. It lies about 2,764 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Sgr, shines at apparent magnitude 9.81 and has spectral type G2.
Its spectrum reads G2 — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for HIP 90725 in the constellation Sgr. At apparent magnitude 9.81, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 90725 is best seen from a dark site away from city lights, and when it is above the horizon depends on your latitude and the time of year. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.
HIP 90725 scores 28 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 6 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Toward the galactic centre, On the zodiac and Sun-like G-type star — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
